Photoshop color display per wavelength

Dear listers:

I am trying to find out if there is a way to have Photoshop display the color that corresponds to a certain wavelength in the visible spectrum. For instance, when entering the value of 480 nm (nanometers) it would display in a graphic or pre-designed shape with the color corresponding to this exact wavelength (in this case a shade of blue).

Thank you in advance for your help.

Best regards,

PhotoShop can do a *lot* of things, but it is probably not the program to use for this kind of task. You should probably be looking for one of the 'Image Processing' programs. Or see:
